Ode to Pre-War Football Cardboard

[Laxcat]

I've been picking up obscure yearbooks to obtain photos of pre war uniforms and players. I love when I run across something like this. This is from a 1941 North Texas Yearbook.

Ted Koonce played for North Texas then served in the Air Force during the war. He held the rank of 1st Lieutenant and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with 3 Oak Clusters. Mr. Koonce passed away in 2008.

Great posts everyone. Jeff, I'd read about McDonald before, amazing to see photos to accompany the story.

Nice Shotwell pickups! I've always liked these sets.

There's some images of others earlier in this thread if you want to check them out.

Well, I got the era right, its from 1892. But not from Case - its from Cornell. I'm not complaining, however, as it has a first year pic of Pop Warner in it along with another College Football Hofer, Winchester Osgood.

That's a historic photo and a great pick-up.
